Sections of time-like twistor spaces with light-like or zero covariant derivatives
Abstract
The conformal Gauss maps of time-like minimal surfaces in give sections of the time-like twistor spaces associated with the pull-back bundles such that the covariant derivatives are fully light-like, that is, these are either light-like or zero, and do not vanish at any point. For an oriented neutral -manifold , if is an -reversing almost paracomplex structure of such that is locally given by the tensor product of a nowhere zero 1-form and an almost nilpotent structure related to , then we will see that is valued in a light-like -dimensional distribution such that is a Walker manifold and that the square norm of vanishes. We will obtain examples of -reversing almost paracomplex structures of as above. In addition, we will obtain all the pairs of -reversing almost paracomplex structures of such that each pair gives sections of the two time-like twistor spaces with fully light-like covariant derivatives.
